Default Smoking D16y8

Hey I have a Stock D16Y8. I turbo'd my vehicle in about october and never had a problem with it smoking at all, lately I have been noticing more and more blue smoke if im lightly feathering the gas then stepping on it. I check my return line and there is no kinks. Im running a 4an line tho to the turbo and i heared i should either run a restrictor or a 3an line. Its a t25 turbo by the way... Just tonight i changed my oil to 10/40 and disconnected my pcv system so it can vent, Hopefully this fixes the problem. If anyone else has any ideas why this is happening it would be great!
Thank you

I had this problem with my crx with d16a6 turbo. My car would smoke at idle and when I was stepping lightly on gas. It was because I didnt have any restriction on my oil feed line. I ended up getting a new turbo and it fixed the problem.

haha, you hope its blowby? that would be worst, put a restrictor in there and hope it's your turbo seals. T25's are cheaper than Y8's and definitely easier to rebuild.
